Over 200 of the world’s leaders in the Sanitation Economy will be in Pune, India this November 18-21st to celebrate World Toilet Day, showcase global best practices in sustainable sanitation.
The goal of rural water and sanitation investments is sustainable, long-term solutions to service challenges—yet donors and practitioners rarely measure the durability of project outcomes.
In Bangladesh, the Global Water Security and Sanitation Partnership (GWSP) supported the Government in demonstrating the use of microfinance to encourage sanitation investments by rural households and entrepreneurs.
The World Toilet Summit takes place each November to coincide with World Toilet Day celebrations. This year’s summit will be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, November 18–19, 2019.
